Roasted Cauliflower And Fried Capers Salad
- 1 medium head of cauliflower
- 5 tbsp olive oil
- 1/3 cup brined capers
- Oil for frying (I used olive oil)
- 1/3 cup walnuts
- 1/3 cup dried cranberries
- 3 tbsp roughly chopped flat-leave parsley
- Juice of AAAA1/2 lemon
- Salt
- Pepper
- Heat the oven to 400F/200C. Cut the cauliflower in florets, cut the bigger ones in half. Season with olive oil, salt and pepper, give it a toss for oil to cover the cauliflower and spread out in a roasting pan. Roast for about 35 minutes or until the cauliflower is golden brown in parts and crisp. Set aside to cool.
- Heat the skillet over medium heat and toast the walnuts until golden brown, for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Set aside to cool and then coarsely chop them.
- Drain and rinse the capers. Pat dry using paper towels.
- Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat (youAAAAAAll need about AAAA1/2 inch/1 cm olive oil). When the oil is hot enough add the capers, cook for about 5 minutes or until crisp and slightly brown on edges, stirring frequently. Remove from the skillet and drain on paper towel.
- Toss carefully together cauliflower, walnuts, capers, cranberries and parsley, add the lemon juice, taste and adjust seasoning.
- **I toasted the walnuts in the pre-heating oven and used less oil to fry the capers**
